Summary/Abstract: Migration and resilience are two key terms in the global literary world. They are associated with the idea of geographical, psychological, political and family breakdown expressed by the lexicon of change, which manifests itself differently in the literary works of the 20th and 21st centuries, marked by colonialism, oppressive political regimes, the two wars world, exile, etc. Under these conditions, migration was considered at least as a temporary solution, allowing the human being to survive and recover. These last two elements constitute the essence of resilience as the capacity of a living organism to be reborn as a result of personal or historical trauma.
